Hi Sharon!

Nice to "see" you. Welcome back! Yep... several of us from last year are back from our holiday pig-outs. lol

So many posts :)
right, here's my report card from yesterday:

My goals this week:
1) whatever goals I make, I try my best to STICK to them yes
2) eat under 1900kcal 1927
3) minimum of junk (top priority) just 1 teeny tiny teaspoon of choc spread
4) burn at least 2500kcal 2501 yeah
5) exercise daily, MUST!!! 30min of aerobics
6) take one day at a time yes

I weighted myself this morning and believe it or not, i'm under 163lb. I drank 27oz bottle of water after my evening workout, so I'm quite sure it isn't water weight. Must be the breastfeeding :d burning off calories from biscuits.

Well it went, I dressed professionally and was confident the whole way through and I have done tons of interviews in my life so far so I know how to be proper, but I'm not sure what the outcome will be. The lady who I was interviewed by was the Boss's wife..

I'm a pessimist when it comes to things like this though so I suppose I will know when they call..if they call =( either way I will send them a thank you card for their time =)

Sounds good! lol I'm sure you can wait until Friday to weigh yourself!

You can do it!!

I don't even have a scale and I forgot to weigh myself when I stopped at my mom's Sunday =( so I have no idea where I'm at.

I love your idea of doing something extra nice each day! I need to do more of that. You are at the same height and weight as me; I think I'm at the lowest threshhold I can be that's still pleasant for me. With normal activities, if I go under 1800 cal's I feel like I'm starving. If I work out I feel like I need to eat more. Even w less activity maybe your body might still need a certain amount of calories.

Here's my update!
Targets for this week ~
1. DO NOT GET WEIGHED UNTIL NEXT MONDAY. (This HAS to be #1) So far so good :)
2. More veggies on a daily basis. Yes, yes
3. Begin a folder of favourite exercises and workouts. Not yet - tonight perhaps
4. 6 visits to the gym. Mon- yes, Tues - No (last trainer session yesterday and I am wiped out! Back at it tomorrow!
5. Keep food to 1500-1700 cal. Yes, Yes

Thanks, Mern. In the morning, I go right to the kitchen and drink about 12 oz of water. There is no way I am getting on the scale after that!!!! ;)

Sorry, I didn't get to read everyone's posts today. Hope all is well with everyone. Keep on keepin' on!!

Cheers,

I love the thank you card idea; even if they can't hire you now, it will open up chances for the future. It sounds like it went well, I hope you got it!

ruby,

I stayed between 116-119 lbs. from March until December without logging or counting calories... it just became a pretty comfortable habit. But then the holidays hit and now this injury. When my weight was down, I was walking or snowshoeing 2-4 miles a day. Until I can get back to that level of exercise, I'll just be happy not gaining. :)

Thanks so much Quinn! It does feel really good! I'm even one pound less than I was before Christmas and I worked pretty hard for it too.

I am really proud of myself for digging my car out today. I just wish I had photographed the before and after. You would not believe the amount of snow that I had to shovel!!!! My arms are already sore! It took me 40 minutes of shoveling to get that damn Beetle out of that snow bank. Thank goodness I don't drive a big SUV. On that note I'd like to write an open letter of complaint about this situation.

Dear Winter,

You are no longer welcome here. You have gone too far. Please leave now.

Sincerely,
Rose
